Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

“We need to stand behind our products and services”

John says we need to “stand behind our products and services” and use them ourselves if we expect others to switch to AT&T.

Here’s the problem, John. We literally implemented 5x RTO because apparently we don’t believe our own employees can work effectively from home, even though we sell the very services that make remote work possible.

How the he-l are we supposed to sell people on the benefits of AT&T when our own leadership doesn’t seem to believe in them enough to let its employees use that flexibility themselves?

Maybe we’d be more enthusiastic about our own products, more likely to use them, and more willing to recommend them to friends and family if we actually experienced the benefits firsthand instead of being forced into an office five days a week.

You want employees to stand behind AT&T? Start by giving us a reason to believe in what we’re selling. You can’t preach the benefits of connectivity and flexibility to customers while refusing to trust your own employees with it. Practice what you preach.

Was at dinner last week with friends, the conversation inevitably turned to the mystery of T stock and its remarkable ability to treat $20 like a permanent residence.
A lot bought low and held tight, expecting a comeback story. Instead, they've spent years watching the stock go nowhere while collecting dividends that feel less like income and more like compensation for patience, emotional distress, and lost opportunity costs.

Whatever! The store lied to my 85yr old dad told him he could only get a new phone with a new line then sold him $15 a month insurance on a cheap flip phone. All our lines are moved! Treat our families right!

You know you can set any phone to the T-mobile ringtone? I think it would be hilarious for everyone at HQ to do this, even on company phones.

@OP our employees can’t work at home. They have posted that they have their kids at home, run errands, clean their home, play rounds of golf, etc. We all know that they most are slack on Mondays and Fridays.

@OP Nailed it. I put essentially this in my free response section in the survey. We say our purpose is to connect people but our leaders have no real belief that our products actually do that. If they’re this cynical, why shouldn’t the rank and file have the same attitude?

@a3

You see, it's only market-based when it comes to how T treats us. It's loyalty-based in the other direction.

Remember this company isn’t given any loyalty to you why give it to them.

What John's not telling you is that rRch told John, Jeff, and Jeremy that the Chinese are in every ISP in america. Including us. Which means our data is not secure. Which means you have to be in the office in order to make it secure. But they're not going to tell you that, imagine the chaos if they did.

I stand behind Att I was recently laid off and now I finally get to take advantage of Att fiber at my new company. The 5 days a week thing never let me actually use it.

If “loyalty” has been replaced with a “market based” culture, why is a personal market-based decision an issue? This is market based. Is that not what you want?

So treat your employees like sh-t but still expect them to be brand ambassador's!?

This dude is seriously delusional.
